The papers in this volume integrate results from current research efforts in earthquake engineering with research from the larger risk assessment community. The authors include risk and hazard researchers from the major U.S. hazard and earthquake centers. The volume lays out a road map for future developments in risk modeling and decision support, and positions earthquake engineering research within the family of risk analysis tools and techniques.

This book brings together the expertise of respiratory physicians, critical care specialists, and surgeons to provide concise practical guidance on the perioperative management of patients with pre-existing respiratory disease. The authors begin with a review of key aspects of respiratory physiology, pre-operative assessment and preparation, then continue to discuss practical issues concerning airway management and respiratory monitoring. Also described are strategies for managing post-operative complications, and respiratory emergencies such as status asthmaticus, pulmonary hypertension, pneumothorax and respiratory failure. The text is supported throughout with diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, checklists, and summary panels.
